SYMOLISM USED IN THE BIBLE COULD BE PART OF AN ANCIENT LANGUAGE!

[Michael Clay]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post. A friend from church gave me a video series explaining in detail the the symbols used in the parables and the book of revelations are actually all connected to each other.
The video series is called 'The Language of the Birds - Biblical' and is on youtube....

It explains that DIRT represent TRANSGRESSION and the DUST represent DEFIANCE and it explains why with references.
Its amazing how these symbols work! I dont believe the person who made this video has correctly interpreted all the symbols correctly. I was hoping that if we all put our heads together we can figure out there true meanings.

I'd be careful with all that.

For example, a 'stone' can represent various ideas in God's Word. With God as our Rock, the idea of Rock represents strength and power everlasting.

Clay for example, actually is a Bible symbol often used for fragility, fleeting, loose foundation.

There are various uses of natural things as symbols, and they're pretty easy to understand per the context of the Bible chapters where they occur. No need to create some kind of 'Bible Code' system, because the symbols can mean different ideas depending on the context they're given in. Also, many words in Bible translations don't always transfer the exact meaning between languages. That's why I recommend at minimum a KJV Bible and a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. The Englishman's Concordance is also a nice study tool to cross-reference how a certain word was translated between various Bible Scriptures.

That sounds interesting.


Michael, there is a site called hebrew4christians.com, which has a section on the Hebrew alphabet, showing the pictograms and their possible meanings. This is a very useful tool for deepening one's understanding of how people in the Bible interpreted what God had said/was saying to them. I also enjoy littleguyintheeye's musings and word studies, as he ties them up across scripture. (google his websites.)

I think veteran's got a point, to be careful, because there is great unity in God's word, and frequently it can't be codified at surface level. The deeper you go, the more it connects, and, it connects more than one expects when one first reads and understands something.
